    I go to the Y. Choose them because of the heated indoor pools and sauna.

    I go to a small gym that my trainer owns. It's not open to the public...most of the people there are being coached and only work in the gym when they're being coached...there are a handful of us with "executive" access and can come and go as we please.

    I go to the YMCA! I love it. Income-based payments, brand new equipment, tons of treadmills and ellipticals, group classes, lovely people, pool/sauna/jacuzzi, etc. I used to go to Planet Fitness but the Y is like three minutes from my house, which is really as far as it could be in order for me to not have an 'excuse' to skip that day! :tongue:

    I go to my local Planet Fitness. It would be awesome if it had a pool because I'd love to add swimming to my regular exercise, but overall I do love it!

    I've been a member of Planet Fitness for about 4 years- I like that they're open 24/7 and have free tanning and are all over the place so that I can go whether near home, near work or near anything else... downfall for me: no childcare! I also joined the Y about 2-3 months ago so that the whole family can go, I love the variety of family activities and the group classes (including yoga) that they offer (though I've not actually taken any of the classes yet)... downfall for me: we have 5 kids and we both work and it's hard to coordinate time to ever go together; also my 3 year old HATES their childcare. My third and most recent gym iS ILOVEKICKBOXING.COM. I joined a week ago and have been to 3 classes and I love it. I bought a groupon but joined as a member the first day. I love how badass I feel during the class and I love the fact that I feel like I'm going to die during the first 15 minute warm up session, but I haven't died yet- only felt amazing after the class!! lol

    I remember a few years ago a woman here made the mistake of mentioning her gym. It wasn't a big chain so with her location on her profile, some creep was able to easily stalk her. It resulted in him following her to a department store and approaching her in the dressing room, while she had her child with her.

    So ladies, be careful what you post!

    I just joined Barbarian Combat Sports, Tim Boetch's gym from the UFC, and I absolutely love it. I get an amazing workout in and I'm always excited to go back.

    LA Fitness. i like it fine, it is close to where I live, not too busy in the mornings. It has a pool, but I haven't used it in a couple years. In fact, i don't use a lot of the stuff they offer.

    I have an Equinox All-Access membership in NYC. The teachers and some of the trainers are either celebrities or super super good at what they do. I'm really happy there.

    I guess it depends on a gym. Mine has 1 deadlift platform, 3 squat racks, and 2 smith machines.
